These projects show my journey as an artist. From botanical illustrator to the present and my continuing fascination with ancient art and artefacts. Up to date, their influence on my work has led me to paint multi coloured almost abstract images.
The Graphic illustration project
The examples of my botanical illustrations show my first footsteps into the artistic world. Most of these examples are photographs of my original hand drawn studies.
There is also a selection of Geological illustrations drawn with illustrator for various journals but also for Power Point presentations
Project Agave .
In a way these paintings hark back to my original training. However, I am no longer trying for an accurate botanical representation. I was interested in the patterns on the Agave leaf spikes which inspired me to experiment with colour and texture.
Sketchbook Project
Is a collection of random thoughts and ideas worked up using Adobe illustrator.
Sculpture & Oil pastel works
In this project are a selection of my resin bronze sculptures and my paintings.
Alphabet series
This is an on going project making individual 3D letters. Experimenting with the letter form and giving each an unique decoration.
Ancient Worlds
At the moment these works represent where I am on my artistic journey. I am still very strongly drawn to the art, artefacts and culture of past societies. Read Less
